build: isolate golangci-lint cache and lock per checkout (closes #121)

script/lint used golangci-lint's per-user global state, which breaks
when several checkouts on one host lint concurrently. Two independent
failure modes, two causes:

- Cross-contamination. The analysis cache (GOLANGCI_LINT_CACHE,
  default ~/.cache/golangci-lint) is keyed by content, not by
  checkout, so a hit written by another checkout is replayed with
  that checkout's file paths. A run reports findings for files it
  never linted.

- Lock collision. golangci-lint locks os.TempDir()/golangci-lint.lock
  (pkg/commands/run.go, acquireFileLock), which is NOT in the cache
  directory, with a 5s timeout. Peers that hold it longer make the
  run abort with "parallel golangci-lint is running" - a non-result
  that reads as a lint failure. Isolating the cache does not move it.

Point GOLANGCI_LINT_CACHE and TMPDIR at .lint-cache/ under the
checkout root, using the existing $ROOT idiom. TMPDIR is what makes
the lock per-checkout, so the lock keeps serialising the runs that
actually share a cache instead of being disabled. .lint-cache/ is
git-ignored and Docker-ignored, and the cache persists across runs in
a checkout, so caching is not lost.

Reproduced both modes on the unfixed script across 12 copies of this
tree: 10 of 12 concurrent runs void with the lock error, and 11 of 12
sequential runs reported findings at ../w1/... after an identical
lint-failing file was added to every copy. After the fix, 20-way
concurrency gives 0 void and 0 foreign paths, and each copy reports
only its own relative path.

-
-Every response — the dashboard, the static assets under `/s/...`, the
-healthchecks, the JSON API, and `/metrics` — carries the following
-headers, set by a global middleware:
-
-| Header                      | Value                                 |
-|-----------------------------|---------------------------------------|
-| `Strict-Transport-Security` | `max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains` |
-| `Content-Security-Policy`   | see below                             |
-| `X-Frame-Options`           | `DENY`                                |

-| `Referrer-Policy`           | `no-referrer`                         |
-| `Permissions-Policy`        | all unused browser features denied    |
-
-The content security policy is:
-
-```
-default-src 'self'; script-src 'none'; style-src 'self'; img-src 'self';
-font-src 'none'; connect-src 'none'; object-src 'none'; base-uri 'none';
-form-action 'none'; frame-ancestors 'none'
-```
-
-The dashboard ships no JavaScript (the 30-second refresh is a
-`<meta http-equiv="refresh">`), no inline styles, no inline event
-handlers, and no images; its only subresource is the embedded stylesheet
-at `/s/css/tailwind.min.css`, which `style-src 'self'` permits. The
-policy therefore needs neither `unsafe-inline` nor `unsafe-eval`.
-`frame-ancestors 'none'` is the primary anti-framing control, with
-`X-Frame-Options: DENY` retained as the legacy fallback.
-
-HSTS is emitted unconditionally, including over plain HTTP. dnswatcher is
-expected to run behind a TLS-terminating reverse proxy, and the browser
-must still be told to enforce HTTPS end to end, so the header is never
-gated on whether the request itself arrived over TLS.
-
-`Referrer-Policy: no-referrer` is stricter than the
-`strict-origin-when-cross-origin` baseline: the dashboard has no
-cross-origin navigation needs, and its URL may name internal hosts.
